The NutriMind Trial: A low-cost randomized trial combining a healthy diet and psychotherapy to treat depressive symptoms among university students – The case of Uganda
REFNo: HS2146ES
The primary outcome is a mean reduction of 6 scores on the CES-D scale
• Biomarkers of metabolism (i.e. lipids, carbohydrates and hormones) will be measured in samples from blood, urine or saliva as appropriate and using standard methods.
• Biomarkers of inflammation (e.g. CRP, interleukins) and antioxidants will be measured in blood, urine or saliva as appropriate and using e.g. multiplex-techniques, immunolabelling methods and metabolomics.
• Microbiome will be analysed in samples from the oral cavity and from feces using established techniques (16S rRNA amplicon sequencing and reduced metagenome sequencing).
The combined intervention arm with MBCT and Diet will reduce depressive symptoms more than the control arm

Can Incentives Change Beliefs? A Field Experiment in Uganda
REFNo: SS1250ES
The objective of this study is that this high incentive treatment sends a strong signal of the important of the micronutrient powder even to those who didn’t receive it. Thus, we must consider the expected value of this incentive, which is only (1/5)*60000=12,000, which is the price of one box of micronutrient powder. By necessity, in this study, we can only give the incentive to a small fraction of the sample, since only participants who do not receive the incentive are a focus of the study

Women fish processors and traders: navigating the digital transformation
REFNo: SS1220ES
The small-scale fisheries (SSFs) sector is experiencing an acceleration in the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) and initial evidence suggests that COVID-19 has further intensified the digitalisation of everyday practices in SSFs, creating new relations between money, people, time, and space. Digital technologies have the potential to support a range of positive outcomes for women fish workers in the Global South, who face multiple and complex gendered challenges in work and society. In SSFs women’s engagement with ICTs has opened new spaces for economic enhancement, facilitated social networks and contributed to resilience amid the impacts of COVID-19. Yet, limited information exists regarding the ways in which ICTs are accessed and used in the everyday lives of women fish workers. Few studies have examined which women stand to benefit and under what conditions.
The overarching aim of this research is to investigate how women fish workers are navigating the digital transformation in small-scale fisheries, through a case study approach in Lake Victoria, Uganda. The research will be directed by the following research objectives:
1. To explore the social, political, economic and environmental contexts associated with women fish processors and trader’s access and use of ICTs?
2. To investigate the barriers/challenges women face in access to and use of ICTs? 3.. To examine the processes of empowerment that ICTs support or undermine?
